Microsoft unveils 2.8T parameter AI model MAI-Base-2

Microsoft has developed a new 2.8 trillion parameter AI model named MAI-Base-2. The company claims this model surpasses all tested open-source rivals in performance. MAI-Base-2 was trained using 16,000 Nvidia GPUs and reportedly offers a training efficiency four to twelve times greater than DeepSeek. AI

IMPACT Sets a new benchmark for large-scale model training efficiency and performance against open-source alternatives.
